RS36 hitch distance from ground

My toad is in the shop getting setup for flat tow. I know I need to drop the hitch but I don't know how far. My RS36 is in storage and I can't get to it to measure. Hoping someone can tell me the measurement from center of hitch to the ground. One post said it's about 25 inches. Thanks.

I have an XG32 and I'm going to guess they are all close in the rear. I uses a 6" drop to tow the Ram and that puts me about 1" from being level on the tow bar. +- 3" was the recommendation from Blue Ox when I got it. The drop is a Roadmaster and very heavy duty. I'll measure when I get home this afternoon to confirm the receiver height. The amount of water will change the height. When I measure I'll let you know how much is on board.

The bottom of my hitch opening is 23 1/2" from a level concrete pad. Full fuel, 1/2 tank water, empty waste tanks.

Thank you. I ended up going with a 6 inch drop for a 2018 Grand Cherokee. Seems to be within the 3 inch range when flat.
